Hooliganism overshadows build up to England v Russia match

England face Russia in the French city of Marseille on Saturday evening, but the build up to the football game has been overshadowed by clashes involving England fans, local youths and police.

Early on Saturday morning, fans were out and about and excitement was building ahead of the Euro 2016 game.

But restaurateur Jean Patrick Berbera was racing to install extra security shuttering to his store in the Old Port area, the scene of two days of trouble involving groups of hard-drinking England supporters and local youths.

Mr Berbera, manager of the 'Au Vieux Port' restaurant where the violence occurred said: "The police did their jobs, but well it sort of kicked off a civil war at the port last night."

He had hoped the Euro 2016 would provide a big boost to business, but it isn't turning out that way.

On Friday there were nine arrests and a handful of minor injuries as riot police, out in huge numbers, seemed content to corral the various factions to areas where they could control them and rarely intervened even when large groups were chasing each other around the town in the early hours.

Pictures on an "ultras" website showed Russian fans proudly displaying England flags captured during violent exchanges on Friday while groups of locals also weighed in, particularly with the throwing of bottles.

With up to 90,000 fans expected to fill the city and local "ultras" keen to join the fray again, authorities were endeavouring to keep some sort of control and the atmosphere around the stadium and on the route to the fan zones was convivial.

Despite the peaceful start to the day, the game's 9pm local (8pm BST) kickoff means there will be a formidable amount of beer drunk and the authorities are braced for more disorder.
